A Surf ON JOINT NOTES.-THE. Geo.
Howe, of this city, brought suit against
Messrs. Ed. Meyer and H. d. Farquhar-
son, of Boscobel, in the circuit court
yesterday afternoon. The suit grew out
of the sale of the Boscobel Dial by Mr..
Farquharson to Lou Lester. Mr.. Lester
gave Gap Ferg,' as part payment for
the Dial, two notes of 800 each. The
notes were joint notes with Geo. C.
Hazelton and Ed. Meyer as sureties for
Lester. "Cap Ferg" turned these notes
over to Mr.. Howe at the time he pur-
chased the HERALD and signed his
name across the back of them. Later
on, Mr.. Lester died. His estate was
settled BY the administrators and the
residue turned over to his widow. Mr..
Howe neglected to present his notes
while the estate was in process of set
Element, and on bringing suit against
Mrs. Lester last fall he failed to get a
judgment Nothing remained for him
to do but sue the joiners or sureties in
the note, and as Hazelton is out of the
state it fell upon Messrs. Meyer and
Farquharson to "hold up the dam. =
The case occupied Wednesday afternoon
and part of the forenoon to-day. After
hearing the case, the court took it from
the jury and decided it himself, giving
Mr.. Howe judgment against Geo. G
Hsxlton and Ed. Meyer, thus releasing

ABOUT BoNDsMEN.-Judge Clement
son, in pronouncing thirty days SEN
tence upon John Runnals, found guilty
of assault and battery, said that he
would not impose fine upon the pris-
oner as his financial condition was such
that he could not pay it, and that if he
fined the prisoner the men who were on
the bonds for his appearance at circuit
court would be forced to pay Runnals'
fine. The Judge further said that the
law in this matter was not generally
understood by the people. A bonds
man is holden for any fine that may be
imposed upon a prisoner as we'll as for
his appearance in court. Judge Glenn
entson wanted 1t understood that the
law would hereafter be strictly adhered
to in this court.

Hon. X. G. Horn Coming.


This is what the Kalamazoo Daily
Telegraph has to say of the Hon. r. G..
Horn, who is to deliver lecture in Ian
caster next Wednesday evening, March
I'd: ga large audience, and very
flattering one, considering the threaten
ing state of the weather, had assembled
in the opera house last evening when
Col. Stockbridge introduced ex-Con-
gresham Horn For an hour and q
half, the distinguished gentleman from
the Saginaw valley held his auditors
with an admirable speech on the labor
problem, commanding from those pres
ent close attention, which Kalamazoo
audiences accord only to efforts of the
highest merit and views worthy of the
most careful consideration. Good, prac-
teal, hard headed common sense stuck
out all over the speech. After the tire
some ranting and unutterable rot which
form the principal part of the speeches
of the average labor agltators and other
cranks who presume to speak on the
subject, it was a relief to hear speech
on the labor question which appealed to
the reason, which was evidently the
utterance of a man who had studied his
subject in all its bearings, which was
practical, and which, as he prophesied
it would in his introduction, was not
made up of theories, but seemed in ac-
cord with the teachings of every mans
experience and in harmony with every
day life. 1t was an entertaining adj
dress. Mr.. Horr turned his inexhaust-
ible fund of humor and sarcasm against
the false teachers of the workingmen
and the sophistries they advocate. The
audience alternately roared with laugh
ter and cheered at the passages of gen.
uine eloquence. A subject which in the
hands of less talented gentleman
would have been dry and didactic, even
if not partaking of demagoguism, he
made interesting and instructive. He
delighted his auditors"
Tickets for this lecture will be found
on sale at the Postoffice on Friday.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY. yesterday was
grandfather Langridge's 83rd birthday.
Years seem to have so little effect upon
him that the day might have passed un-
needed had he not been reminded of it
in very pleasant way by Mrs S. E.
Hassell and Mrs. Thode Burr, who each,
under the same inspiration without
knowledge of the other, carried to him a
large birthday cake. One other thing
perhaps might have forced him to re-
member that another year had passed.
Only the day before, Mr.. Langridge had
been mounted on a step ladder trimming
maple trees, and his bones had been
crying out for better treatment on this
anniversary day. In the pleasure that
the kind remembrances brought, the
effect of the over exertions were forgotten
and Mr. Landgridge will be in trim to
scale another ladder tomorrow. We
extend TO him these somewhat tardy
congratulations and wishes for many
more years, with as few signs of age as
the last ten have brought.

To Our Mother.

[The following verses to the memory of Mrs
Lucretia Pike were sent in for publications.
oh our loved one thou art gone
And we miss thee at our home,
But we know that thou art now
Where there can no sorrow come.
Many months thou suffered pain,
Much more than thy friends can tell
But 1t gives them greatest pleasure
That thou knowest all was well.
Thou vert honest, kind and true:
Tried to keep the gospel rule,
And to other people did
As you wished 10 have them do.
And now farewell, dear Mother IS
No more on earth we clasp thy hand,
May we so live that we may greet thee.
In that bright and better land.
MRS. NJ. ?.

COOP LUCK. Frank Hicks started
out one day this week with five tanning
mills and in two days returned with only
one, having disposed of four in so short
time. This doesn't look like awful hard
times after all. On his way home
Frank says that at the Rock school
house, four miles North of Fennimore,
he saw a large wolf cross the road hotly
pursued by hound. They have not
been heard from since.

On the occasion of the Queens Jubi-
lee, in accordance with time honered
custom, many prisoners were set free
in India. The old law of Imprisonment
for debt, still thrusts the unfortunate
man into prison for unpaid debts and
as the man thus imprisoned gets only
poorer and poorer with each year the
period of bondage is a prolonged one.
The pathetic tale of ''Little Dorrit'' ILL.,
ustrates now for India, as it did for
England the hopelessness of such bond
age. The question arises. Why does
not the government abolish in India
the law which long years of trial proved
SO cruelty oppressive and disastrous in
England that it was abolished there?
There are said to be $4,000 debt prison
ers in India. The fact that these
prisoners are the ones most benefited
by the Queens Jubilee liberation proves
that the injustice of the law is recog-
nized. The entire abolition of such
law would be more worthy celebra-
ton of the suspicious event.

improvements in Buncoing.


"The rising generation of bunco
steerers." said y detective the other day,
''has improved on the rackets of the
old-timars. Every body knows that
they work in pairs, and when they
meet greeny, one braces him, gets
his name, and the town from which
he halls, apologies for installing him
for Mr. Smith or Jones of Cohoes or
Kenaka, and goes back and posts his
pal, who usually waits around the
corner for him. The pal then tackles
the hayseeder, after consulting his
guide-book, getting the population,
bank presidents names, and the names
of a few leading merchants of the
town the hayseeder came from 1t
often happened that the countryman
grew suspicious as soon as the first
bunco man left him. after getting his
name, and when the second tackles
him shortly afterward chock full of
knowledge about the town Inc came
from, would laugh at him, and if he
knew any slang at all would remark
Too thinr
"The new game is apt to prove more
successful. Two men working to-

before they start out The first man
to strike the stranger throws his left
hand behind his back, and with the
dumb alphabet telegraphs the strang-
er's name and whatever else he has
learned to his pal, who is close be-
hind him. In this way the second
man is able to brace the stranger be-
fore the first man has done shaking
hands with him, and there is no room
left for him to believe that the men

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
The lecture given by Prof. Beck re-
Gently in this place, was a rare treat to
those who were in attendance. The
Professor treated his subject in a very
able manner, and made the process of
'world building" as seen by the eyes
of modern science, so manifest, that
even the youngest did not fail to under
stand it. The speakers pleasing style
of delivery added much to the already
interesting subject; and the wonderful
truths presented, mingled with a little
humor now and then, secured and sus-
tanned a deep interest, to the close of
the lecture. The proceeds of the lee
ture for the evening were added to our
school fund. We wish also to state that
the school and community highly appre-
ciate the Professors efforts in assisting
us to place many niece ssary articles in
our schools. PRINCIPAL.
